Calculating network transfer speed?
What is the best way to calculate network transfer speed? Is there an app that does this?
Two ways:
1)For network attached storage check out iometer
Its complex when you first have a look at it. But its very extensive.
I would download the template file and the template file will run the tests.
The idea is you map a share to a drive and then run iometer on that drive letter and you get your write and read speeds across the network
Here is a forum article on how to setup a test:

2)For network transfer speeds instead of focusing on drives and more on networking equipment diagnosis, use jperf (gui version of iperf) or iperf(which is a cli version)
Here is a nice guide on that
